DETOXING YOUR BODY

Detoxing or
detoxification, is the body's natural, ongoing process of neutralising or
eliminating toxins from the body through the colon, liver, kidneys,
lungs, lymph, and skin. The human body can become toxic or polluted from
the things that we consume and from our polluted environments.

Having too many toxins in your body can lead to a range of
symptoms including tiredness, weight gain, behavioral problems, lowering
of emotions, lowered immune systems, and skin conditions.

There are 2 areas to which toxins are linked to. These are Environmental related toxins and Internal Source toxins.

Environmental toxins
can be anything from smoke and air pollution, chemical residues in
food, chemicals from paints, plastics, furnishings, pesticides,
deodorants, detergents, and many other house hold products just to name a
few.

The
effect toxins can have on our bodies shows in our genera lfitness and
health. They can make you feel sluggish and stressful, your body may
experience continuous aching, diarrhea or constipation, or lethargy and
clumsiness. Rapid weight gain and the inability to lose excess weight can
also be signs of toxins in your body.

Potential benefits of Detoxing the body are:

* Improving skin tone, looking younger

* Assist weight management

* Release fresh energy

* Relax and refresh mind

* Enhance immune system

Eliminating Toxins:

Here are some ideas to help you start your detox and help eliminate toxins around your home.

Air pollution

In cities is well known but the air in your home can be even more toxic as it becomes stale and accumulates.

Food Choices. There are many foods and beverages that can easily be cut off from your diet in order to cleanse your body. The usual suspects are caffeine, alcohol, fast foods, meats, and dairy.

Other
not so obvious are ingredients such as preservatives and flavour
enhancers or flavours found in take aways and processed foods. Also be
aware of the abundance of pesticide sprays found on fruits and vegetables
that an ordinary wash doesn't always eliminate and actually adds to our
toxicity.

For the most effective detox program you should contact your health care practitioner for advice to address your specific needs.
